So I have to admit I never expected to finish writing a book let alone publish one.

I’ve written plenty of short screenplays and poetry but I was far to self conscious to share most of it publicly. My poetry was very personal and admittedly a bit depressing. As for my screenplays they were for school and the characters weren’t really characters I connected to.

Writing a full length fiction novel was different for me. I got to create my own universe with my own rules. I got to make and solve conflicts on my terms and create complex characters that I cared about.

I’m still anxious and worried that it won’t be well received but I don’t regret it. Besides we all have to step out of comfort zones eventually.

Anyway here's the book cover and a synopsis

"WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU?"

Most believe supernatural beings to only exist in fairy tales. For Victoria Wesley, a hot-headed teenage witch with a chip on her shoulder, the supernatural world is all too real.

Four years ago her parents were slaughtered for inexplicable reasons. As the sole survivor of her family, Victoria sets out to bring their killers to justice. In her determination to find out who was responsible she meets a group of young witches and a mysterious vampire named Adrien who make her question everything she thought she knew.

The world of the supernatural is far more complicated and dangerous than she ever realized. When ulterior motives are revealed knowing who to trust proves to be the hardest decision she’s ever made. When the lines between right and wrong are blurred Victoria has to figure out how far you can go before you become one of the bad guys.

Will Victoria be able to get what she wants without losing sight of who she is? Will she make it out of this alive?
